          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
          Four betting trends for NCAAB conference title games
          ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

          It’s championship week and with it the reward of a ticket to the Big Dance for all the teams cutting down the nets after their conference tournament championship game.

          Before knee jerking and playing on teams in title games that on paper look to be the better squad, pay close attention to these four college conference championship moneymaking scenarios.

          Note: All results are prior to this year’s tourneys and are since 1990.

          Size matters

          Having been there and done that goes a long way toward a team’s success in conference title games.

          That’s confirmed by the fact that teams who won 27 or more games the previous season use that weight to their advantage, going 64-44-3 ATS in conference title games.

          Put them up against a No. 4 or lower seed and they improve to 29-3 SU and 23-8-1 ATS, including 16-0 SU and 15-1 ATS if they defeated their lightweight opponent in their most recent meeting.

          Ain’t no stopping us now

          Momentum can carry a team a long way, especially when they arrive at the conference championship game.

          No. 1 or 2 seeded favorites that enter off three wins in a row by an average win margin of 20 points per game or better are 17-1 SU and 15-3 ATS.

          Put them up against an opponent that failed to cover the spread by more than six points in its last game and they zoom right to the head of the class, going 12-0 SU and 12-0 ATS.

          Home teams in title games – Use them, don’t abuse them

          Home is where the heart is. It’s also where the money is in championship games. That’s confirmed by the fact that host teams are 38-15 SU and 29-23-1 ATS.

          If these home advantaged teams lost one or fewer games at home on the season, they improve to 23-1 SU and 15-8-1 ATS, including 15-1 SU and 12-3-1 ATS if they are hosting a No.1 or No. 2-seeded opponent.

          Best of all, these one-loss or less wonders are 4-0 SU and ATS if the opponent did not cover the number in its semifinal contest.

          Dogs with a higher win percentage have no bite

          As rare as it may seem, teams with the better record are not always favored in championship games.

          When the oddsmakers install the opponent with an inferior win percentage as the favorite, they know what they’re doing. That’s because underdogs with a better win percentage are just 17-26-2 ATS in these games.

          And if the favorite owns a win percentage of .700 or more, the underdog dips to 7-18 ATS.

          Better yet, underdogs with a better record who arrive to the title game off back-to-back SU and ATS wins against .700 or greater opponents are a lowly 1-9 ATS. Buyer beware.

            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
            Big East tourney: DePaul vs. Rutgers, Seton Hall vs. South Florida
            ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

            DePaul vs. Rutgers (-3, 146)

            Rutgers will likely have a little more on its mind than avenging a loss to DePaul last month when they meet in the opening round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden on Tuesday. Despite a second-half scoring explosion from Myles Mack, the Scarlet Knights were unable to overcome the season-ending loss of leading scorer Eli Carter to a fractured right fibula in a 75-69 setback on Feb. 16 against the Blue Demons – one of DePaul’s two conference victories. The loss to the Blue Demons triggered a five-game losing streak, which ended in Friday’s 56-51 win at Seton Hall.

            DePaul, which ranks last in the Big East in scoring and field-goal percentage defense, is in the midst of a six-game skid, losing by an average of 17.2 points. The Blue Demons are also searching for their first win in the Big East tournament since defeating Cincinnati in 2009, but have defeated Rutgers in each of their last two meetings. The winner of this contest will meet Notre Dame in the second round.

            TV: 9 p.m. ET, ESPNU

            ABOUT DEPAUL (11-20): With two 3-pointers Saturday against Pittsburgh, junior Brandon Young (16.6 points, 4.6 assists) became the 17th player in school history to reach 100. As a result, he also became the first Blue Demon to record 1,200 points, 400 assists and 100 3-pointers for his career. Young and Connecticut’s Shabazz Napier were the only players in the conference to finish the regular season among the top eight in both points and assists. Cleveland Melvin did not start for the first time all season against Pittsburgh, but he posted his 100th career block - only the ninth player in school history to do so.

            ABOUT RUTGERS (14-15): Mack has been one of the bright spots for the Scarlet Knights, who fell off after beginning the season 12-4, including a 3-2 start in the conference. The sophomore ranks first among the league’s guards in field goal percentage (48 percent), leads the Big East in 3-point field goal percentage (45.1) and is second in conference in free throw percentage (87.8). Mack followed up his 28-point outburst against DePaul with 24 against Villanova, but averaged only 11 points over the last four games. Jerome Seagears and Kadeem Jack initially increased their point production in Carter’s absence, but are averaging only 14.4 points combined over the last three contests.

            TRENDS:

            * Blue Demons are 0-6 ATS in their last six games overall.
            * Scarlet Knights are 4-1 ATS in their last five games overall.
            * Under is 4-0 in the last four meetings.

            TIP-INS:

            1. Four of the last five meetings have been decided by six points or less, including the last three.

            2. DePaul’s opponents are shooting 54.6 percent from the field and averaging 82 points during its losing streak.

            3. Rutgers averaged 59.6 points during league play – a sharp drop from its 74.3-point average during its non-conference schedule.


            Seton Hall vs. South Florida (Pick, 116)

            South Florida will attempt to continue its late-season resurgence on Tuesday when it meets Seton Hall in the opening round of the Big East tournament at Madison Square Garden. The Bulls resided in the conference basement for most of the season, with a 55-47 home win over Georgetown on Jan. 23 serving as its only league win through 15 games. However, South Florida snapped a 10-game losing streak with consecutive victories over DePaul and Connecticut before falling in overtime at Cincinnati to close out the regular season.

            The Pirates suffered their own misery during the conference schedule, enduring a nine-game slide following a win over South Florida in the teams’ only meeting on Jan. 23. Seton Hall ended its losing streak with a home victory over Villanova on Feb. 25, but closed out the regular season with consecutive losses to match the Bulls’ 3-15 conference record. The winner of this contest will meet Syracuse in the second round.

            TV: 7 p.m. ET, ESPNU

            ABOUT SETON HALL (14-17): The Pirates have been ravaged by injuries as Fuquan Edwin (16.6 points, 5.8 rebounds, 2.5 steals) is one of only four players that have played in all 31 games. Despite a constantly-changing supporting cast, Edwin ranks seventh in the conference in scoring, 17th in rebounding and second in steals. The Pirates averaged 15.9 turnovers and 20.7 fouls during conference play – both league-high marks – somewhat offsetting their Big East-best 135 3-pointers. In the January meeting, Seton Hall survived a minus-11 turnover margin by shooting 52.5 percent from the field – its best effort in Big East play.

            ABOUT SOUTH FLORIDA (12-18): Much like last year, Victor Rudd (12.3 points, 7.1 rebounds) is closing out the season with a flurry, averaging 17.4 points and 8.6 rebounds over his last seven games since returning from a groin injury. Over that same stretch, the junior forward has posted three of his team-leading seven double-doubles. In their victories over the Blue Demons and Huskies, the Bulls – who finished last in the conference in field goal percentage (39.4) and 10th in 3-point field goal percentage (32) – shot 50 percent from the floor and 46.8 percent beyond the arc.

            TRENDS:

            * Pirates are 8-2 ATS in the last 10 meetings.
            * Under is 4-1 in the last five meetings.
            * Pirates are 1-4 ATS in their last five games vs. a team with a losing record.

            TIP-INS:

            1. South Florida used 15 different starting lineups during the regular season while Seton Hall was forced to go with 14.

            2. After scoring at least 70 points in 11 of its first 15 games, Seton Hall hasn’t reached that mark since.

            3. The Bulls collected a season-high 11 steals in the first meeting.

                    • Boise St. vs. San Diego St.

                      March 13, 2013

                      After splitting a pair of regular-season meetings, San Diego St. and Boise St. will collide in a rubber game of monumental importance late Wednesday night in Las Vegas at the Thomas & Mack Center.

                      As of early Tuesday night, most books had the Aztecs listed as four-point favorites for this Mountain West Conference Tournament quarterfinals matchup. The total was 132. Gamblers can expect to see the Broncos at around +160 on the money line (risk $100 to win $160).

                      These schools finished with identical overall records and in a tie for fourth place (both 9-7) in the Mtn. West standings. This has prompted many pundits to look at this game as a win-and-you’re-in scenario, but I disagree with that notion. I think both teams are at-large squads regardless of what happens in Vegas.

                      Boise St. (21-9 straight up, 16-10 against the spread) has won five of its last six games, including Saturday’s 69-65 win over San Diego St. as a two-point home favorite. Derrick Marks was the catalyst, producing 27 points, nine rebounds, six assists and a pair of blocked shots. Anthony Drmic added 23 points for the Broncos, who are 9-1 ATS in their last 10 games.

                      In the losing effort, Xavier Thames had a team-high 18 points, including a pair of deep treys that sparked a late Aztecs’ run that saw them erased a double-digit deficit to pull within one. However, when San Diego St. appeared poised to take the lead after a basket and a quick steal, Marks came out of nowhere to block a layup attempt.

                      Marks gathered the ball following the block and then got fouled. When he buried both shots from the charity stripe and BSU got a stop, the four-point swing and defensive stand put the game on ice.

                      Before this 10-game spread surge for BSU, we should note that the team was dealing with several injuries to key players. Since it has been back at full strength, Boise St. has played extremely well, especially for our purposes. The Broncos’ only loss in the last six games came in a 68-64 decision at UNLV last week in a game that could’ve gone either way.

                      San Diego St. (21-9 SU, 12-12-1 ATS) has lost two of its last three games and has dropped four in a row ATS. The Aztecs have been single-digit favorites 11 times, compiling a 5-6 spread record.

                      Steve Fisher’s team is led by junior guard Jamaal Franklin, who averages team-highs in points (17.0 PPG), rebounding (9.4 RPG), assists (3.1 APG) and steals (1.5 per game). Franklin had 14 points, eight rebounds and three assists in the first regular-season meeting against Boise St.

                      On that night, San Diego St.’s Chase Tapley drained a 3-pointer with 2.8 seconds remaining to lift his team to a 63-62 win as a 9.5-point home ‘chalk.’ Thames did not play in this game for the Aztecs, while BSU was without Igor Hadziomerovic (5.4 PPG and 3.0 RPG).

                      San Diego St. is No. 31 in the RPI Rankings, going 4-7 against the RPI Top 50 and 7-9 versus the RPI Top 100. The Aztecs have zero shameful losses with a 70-67 defeat at Air Force (RPI: 72) serving as the closest thing.

                      BSU has an RPI of 38, posting a 4-6 record against RPI Top 50 opponents and an 8-7 mark versus RPI Top 100 foes.

                      These schools have squared off five times in the last two seasons. The Aztecs have won outright in four of those encounters, but BSU has taken the money at a 4-1 ATS clip. All five meetings have gone ‘under’ the total.

                      The ‘over’ is 12-9-1 overall for San Diego St., but the ‘under’ has connected in its last three outings.

                      The ‘under’ is 9-7-1 overall for Boise St., 3-0-1 in its last four games.

                      This game will tip approximately 30 following the conclusion of New Mexico’s game, estimated to be around midnight Eastern. The CBS Sports Network (channel 613 on DirecTV) will provide television coverage.

                      **B.E.’s Bonus Nuggets**

                      --Add Iona -4 vs. Manhattan in Monday’s MAAC Tournament finals to the all-time Bad Beats Club. The Gaels took a 60-52 lead on a basket with six seconds remaining. Next, the Jaspers made a meaning-less 3-pointer with one tick left to cut the deficit to 60-55. Then the unthinkable happened. The Iona fans stormed the court, prompting officials to issue a technical foul. Manhattan hit both free throws to give its backers a wild backdoor cover in a 60-57 setback.

                      --Georgia owns a 12-1 spread record in its last 13 games. The Bulldogs are one-point favorites Thursday afternoon vs. LSU in an SEC Tournament quarterfinals matchup in Nashville.

                      --The ‘over’ has hit in 10 consecutive Oklahoma games. As for Iowa St., it has seen the ‘over’ cash in 13 straight games. Fittingly, these teams meet Thursday afternoon in the Big 12 Tournament semifinals. Only one offshore book (CRIS) had a total posted (as of late Tuesday afternoon) and it was 150.

                      --The 'under' is on a sick 14-1-1 run in Gonzaga's last 16 games. The Bulldogs beat Saint Mary's for a third time this season in the WCC Tournament finals, cruising to a 65-51 win Monday as 6.5-point favorites. The 116 combined points stayed 'under' the 136-point total.

                      --Cincinnati will face Providence in today's lid-lifter at the Big East Tournament. The Bearcats, who are 3.5-point favorites, have failed to cover the number in six straight games and eight of their last nine. The 'under' is 20-4 overall for Cincy this season. The total was 122 as of early this morning.

                      --The 'under' has cashed in 10 consecutive Colorado games and 13 of its last 14. When the Buffs take on Oregon St. today at the Pac-12 Tournament at MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas, the total will be 134 (as of early this a.m.).

                      • Armadillo: Wednesday's six-pack

                        -- Buffalo Bills cut starting QB Ryan Fitzpatrick, leaving Tarvaris Jackson as their current #1 guy. Curious to see where Buffalo goes from here.

                        -- Siena fired basketball coach Mitch Buonogaro, a very nice man who did not win nearly enough games to keep the natives happy.

                        -- Notre Dame got its way, will be playing ACC basketball next winter. Wonder if they paid the $2.5M to bolt, or if NBC paid it for them.

                        -- South Dakota State wins Summit League for the second year in a row, beating North Dakota State 73-67. Jackrabbits won at New Mexico, are a capable offensive team.

                        -- LIU won the NEC title for third year in a row. Its hard to win a league tournament three years in a row, and they were the #3 seed this time.

                        -- Lakers 106, Orlando 97-- Dwight Howard was fouled a lot in his return to Orlando; he was 25-39 from foul line, 16-20 in second half. Lot of folks paid a lot of money to watch a guy shoot 39 foul shots.


                        *****

                        Armadillo:Wednesday's List of 13: Doing some thinking out loud......

                        13) This question dawned on me today: Is Rick Pitino the greatest all-time coach of other coaches? Billy Donovan-Travis Ford-Marvin Menzies-Jim O’Brien-Richard Pitino-Herb Sendek-Tubby Smith-Reggie Theus-Jeff Van Gundy- Ralph/Kevin Willard-Sean Woods all worked for Pitino.

                        Its an interesting question, but I think the answer is yes.

                        12) Then there is Ole Miss, where there are rumors that Andy Kennedy will be gone if the Rebels don’t make the NCAAs. Are you serious?

                        You try competing in same league as Kentucky/Florida in basketball at a school where one of the primary mascots is still an old white dude carrying the Confederate Flag. Seriously.

                        If Kennedy gets canned, his agent’s cellphone will blow up with job offers from other schools. Good jobs, too.

                        11) Holly Madison is taking heat for naming her daughter Rainbow Aurora; maybe she’s just a fan of the knuckleball, and is naming her daughter after Toronto pitcher RA Dickey. Or maybe she just likes unusual names.

                        10) Sometimes its fun to grade the conferences during Championship Week by who announces the championship game of their tournament; for example, Bob Valvano did Summit League game, which puts them ahead of the MAAC, who had some guy I hadn't heard all year doing Manhattan-Iona Monday night. Bill Raftery used to do the MAAC game every year.

                        9) There is a TV show called Robot Combat League, kind of a life-sized version of Rock ‘em/Sock ‘em Robots. It is hosted by pro wrestler Chris Jericho, and its on the list with Amish Mafia of shows I’ll never watch.

                        8) Its that time of year; someone took an ad out in the Wake Forest student newspaper calling for the ouster of basketball coach Jeff Bzdelik, who is regarded as a superior tactician, but hasn’t recruited well. Can’t win without good players.

                        7) I truly enjoy the NFL, but how does an ESPN talkshow devote its whole show to NFL free agency in March, where there is March Madness, the NBA/NHL and spring training going on? I can see doing it the day the 2013 schedule comes out, but the few hours before free agency? No thanks.

                        6) That said, the I-heart radio app on my I-Phone is outstanding. Listen to a music station in Fort Myers and hear car dealer Billy Fuccillo yelling “HUGE!!!!!” into my ears during commercials. Fuccillo is everywhere, and his commercials are great fun, as commercials go.

                        5) One college AD was complaining over weekend that out of 31 basketball conferences that get an automatic bid, only one not concerned with some form of realignment is the Ivy League. Tough time to be an AD; you don’t want your school to lose out in this high stakes game of musical chairs. Even the Patriot League added Loyola, Md and Boston U for next season.

                        4) In case you were wondering, Saturday is National Meatball Day. Just thought you’d like to know.

                        3) The more I observe Indiana coach Tom Crean, the more I wonder: Do coaches ever get drug tested? He acts like he sucks down a gallon of Red Bull before every game. His outburst at end of the Michigan game was odd.

                        2) If you had Iona -4 Monday night, my condolences; Gaels led by 8 with 0:06 left over Manhattan; Jaspers go length of court, stick a 3 from left corner, clock stops with 0:00.1 left, and some combination of Iona players/ fans come on the court to celebrate, because they thought the game was over.

                        Now none of the celebrants made it onto the TV shot, so how far onto the court could they have gotten?

                        Refs called a technical, Jaspers made both foul shots, lost by 3 and covered the spread, scoring five points in less than a second. Very hideous way to lose a bet; seems like given the circumstances, common sense would’ve dictated just clear them off the floor and play the last 0:00.1, but that’s not what happened, maybe partly because the refs had given Manhattan coach Masiello a technical for being out of the coaches’ box earlier in second half.

                        1) “Someone is going to win the national title, but is any team capable of playing six good games in a row?”

                        Read someone ask that on Twitter this week, and its another fair question. Every team has a significant flaw; the eventual champ will probably have to grind out at least one game in the tournament, when they don’t bring their A game, which makes filling your bracket out so interesting.

                              Wednesday, March 13

                              Big East tournament (NYC)
                              -- Cincinnati was 18-4 when it lost 54-50 (-4.5) at Providence Feb 6, as Friars shot 59% inside arc in game that started Bearcats on current 3-6 skid. Teams combined to go 5-30 from arc that day. UC lost in finals here LY; they're 5-3 in this tournament over last three years. Providence won seven of last nine games, losing at UConn in OT last game; since '03, they're 2-9 in this tournament, losing first game last three years.
                              -- Seton Hall survived awful OT game with USF last night; three of their starters played 40+ minutes- Pirates' bench played 34 minutes, took one shot. Hall lost 15 of last 18 games, including 76-65 (+9) home loss Feb 16 to Syracuse, when Pirates were 10-26 from arc, 9-18 inside it, only 17-29 from foul line. Orange are struggling, losing four of last five games and 7 of last 12- they're 6-6 in this tourney since winning it in '06.
                              -- St John's lost last four games by 16-3-26-2 points; throwing Harrison off team hasn't helped. Villanova (-7.5) beat St John's 98-86 in OT at home Jan 2; they were 34-42 from foul line, Red Storm 12-20 (10-20 from arc). Johnnies led by 3 with 1:58 left, couldn't hold on. Wildcats get 28.3% of their points on foul line (#1 in US); this is road game for them- they lost three of last four on road, winning at UConn. St John's is 3-4 in this tournament last seven years, despite being the home team.
                              -- Rutgers was 12-4 when it lost 69-66 (+12) at Notre Dame Jan 19, loss that started Scarlet Knights on current 3-11 skid; they beat DePaul by 19 last nite, playing only two guys more than 28 minutes. Notre Dame split its last six games since winning consecutive OT games last month; they lost four of last five on road, but won first game in this event last three years, by 12-38-4 points. Rutgers is 1-4 in this event since 2007.

                              Pac-12 tourney (MGM Garden Arena, Las Vegas)
                              -- Arizona State lost last four games, scoring 61.8 ppg; they won twice in '09 Pac-12 tourney when they had Harden, are 0-7 otherwise in this event over last decade, losing first game last three years by 9-7-20. ASU lost 62-59 (-1) to Stanford Feb 9 at home; other than Carson, they shot 31% from floor, while Cardinal was 10 for 18 from arc. Stanford is 4-5 in last nine games; they won first tourney game four of last five years.
                              -- LY, Colorado won four games in four days to win Pac-12 tourney in its first year in league; road team won both Colorado-Oregon St. games, as Beavers (+10) won 64-58 at Colorado Saturday, holding Buffs to 35% from floor with Roberson out (mono). OSU lost five of last six and 14 of last 18 games; they won first tourney game last two years. Only once in last ten games has Colorado allowed more than 64 points- they split last six games, after winning six of previous seven.
                              -- USC has two of three 7-footers suspended here after off-court issues in Pullman last week; Trojans (+3.5) won 76-59 at Utah Jan 12, was last game for O'Neill before SC fired him. Trojans are 7-7 under Cantu, losing last three road games. Utes swept Oregon schools last week after dismal 3-13 run; they lost first conference tourney game by 12-14-12 points in last three years. Trojans have 10 transfers, interim coach, played hard (#7) schedule, have two guys suspended; too much drama?
                              -- Washington slipped to 9-9 in Pac-12 this year, after going 57-24 last four years, winning tourney twice; Huskies beat Washington State twice this year, by 5-4 points, making 58/60% inside arc vs Coogs, who lost first game in last three tourneys, by 2-2-5 points. State had lost nine in a row before sweeping LA schools last week, by 12-24 points. Huskies lost five of last six road games (won @ ASU) but won four of their last six games overall.

                              MWC tourney (@ UNLV)
                              -- UNLV struggled with Air Force this year, beating Falcons 76-71 Jan 12 in OT at home (-13), then losing 71-56 (-3.5) on road Feb 13. Rebels' lack of true PG has hurt them badly- they're just 4-4 in this event in last four years, but won first tourney game nine of last 10 years. From 2005-2008, AF went 39-23 in MWC but never won tourney game; this is best team they've had since then. Falcons lost last five road games, with three losses by 12+ points. Early start, smaller crowd should help Falcons.
                              -- Colorado State is senior-dominated team; Green got hurt in last game, unsure of status here- Rams are not deep team- they beat Fresno twice this year, by 7-11 points, are 1-4 in this event last four years. Bulldogs had lost 15 of 19 games before beating Air Force/UNLV last week; win on this court Saturday has to help their confidence. Fresno played #6 schedule in country, use lot of guys, but have only one win in last six conference tourneys.
                              -- San Diego State is 10-2 in MWC tourney last four years, winning its first game last five years, by 4-14-1-14-3 points. Boise State (-2) beat Aztecs by 4 Saturday, after losing by 1 in San Diego Feb 6; home teams got off to big leads in both games, barely hung on late. Boise is 1-4 last four years in this event, losing first round games by 10-24-3- they're 5-1 in last six games overall, winning more as they got healthy. Aztecs lost their last five games away from Viejas Arena.

                              Big X tournament (Kansas City)
                              -- Hard to lay any points with West Virginia squad that is only 6-12 in its first year in Big X; they swept Texas Tech, winning by 16-2 points. Mountaineers lost in first game of Big East tourney last two years, after winning it in '10- they've lost last six games since nipping Tech by hoop Feb 16. Tech is 9-45 in Big 12 play last three years, losing first tourney game last two years, by 4-16 points; they haven't won road game since Jan 5 at TCU.
                              -- Texas is 5-3 since Kabongo got eligible Feb 13, with three of five wins in OT; Longhorns need to win tourney to get to NCAAs- they've never won this tournament, despite strong teams they've had. Texas beat TCU by 17-9 points this year, once with Kabongo, once without; Longhorns are 8-1 in first tourney game last eight years, but six of eight wins were by 7 or less points. TCU upset Oklahoma in last game, after being up 22 at half, just its second Big X win in 18 tries.
